I have not seen Ken since high school days when we sat next to each other in band. Ken played baritone horn and did a fine job.
I got to know him and we joked as much as we dared
I got to know Margaret, Ken's mom, while working at the State Hospital. I enjoyed her friendship.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Ken's wife and family.

Diane-I just saw your comment. You guys were in band when Mr. Beggs was the instructor, so you had the best of the best.
I didn't realize you worked with Mom, so I'm glad you shared that.
You've probably gathered now that I'm Kenny's youngest sister. It was nice to see your comment.
